23.2  LTC Input into a DMX Processor 8000

Linear Timecode (LTC) is a form of SMPTE timecode encoded into an audio signal. The Hog 4 OS can listen to LTC by inputting the LTC signal to a USB LTC widget attached to a DP8000.

To bring LTC into the system using a DMX Processor 8000:

  1. Connect an external USB LTC widget to one of the USB ports on the rear panel of the DMX Processor 8000 (up to 8 USB LTC widgets are supported on the DP8000; each LTC input is mapped to an "Index")

  2. Connect the LTC source to the LTC widget using a balanced 3-pin XLR connector.

  3. Open the Network window. [SetupNetwork]

  4. In the network window select the DP8000 to which you connected the LTC Widget.

  5. Press the Settings button at the top of the network window to open the DMX Processor 8000 Settings window.

  6. Select the Linear Timecode tab of the DMX Processor 8000 Settings window.

  7. Map an LTC Widget to one of the eight indexes by pressing the blue plus button located to the far right of the index, then select an LTC Widget from the device drop down menu and press Apply.
